Does this little fella have enough oomph to serve as a home automation and home video surveillance (ca. 15 Megapixels) control center?

Absolutely, give it few GB of ram and a proper mSata SSD, you're good to go.

I think It will. Video and audio work great inside your home. But APP is more complicated, so many issues to solve.

It is capable, but you still need a software suite like HomeSeer to use it.

Sorry, I just use this unit to setup amd adjust security cameras on location.

Yes. I have one installed in my desktop and I use it for pictures and whatnot.

It should be a super computer for photoshop and others because of his super i7 processor, but I haven't tried yet that kind of programs, I just use it in bed before I sleep. and I'm not very happy with the windows 8 as well...very sluggish..all over the house isn't very pleasent because is quite heavy and does not have a good way of grabbing it, but once you sit, it becomes very nice because of it's big screen and it does not get hot either under the case. about the duration of the batteries is around an hour and a have.

Tbh idk... maybe you should invest in a decent controller and see whats up. .. I think it depends on how big a space you are looking to use it on as well..

thanks Draven...but do you know if i can also hook up extra motion/trip sensors ? ...and does the cpu use pixel changes in camera images to detect motion that act like a trip sensor/alarm ?

I suppose you could though I'm not sure as to how good the quality would be. Utilizing the software video capture as a primary monitor may also have a delay with input if that would matter to you.

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.

Yes. It has great arpeggiations, and can be used as a controller also... The two primary reasons I bought it. Hope this helps!

I would say, yes. It is a very easy system to setup and would have plenty of power for what you need, in my opinion.

Thanks. I am assuming from all these answers that the Eee PC processor (Atom N270 or N280) is beefy enough to show the video without jerkiness or other problems?

I use this computer all the time to do video editing and assembly with Roxio Videowave. It is powerful enough to make my Blue Ray video movies of important picture and video events in my life.

Yes assuming you can power it. You may also have issues with the image being stable.

I wouldn't count on it. This is a bare minimum computer. Sorry that I bought it.

I can second TinyCam Monitor Pro. There is even a TinyCam Monitor Free if you don't want to pay. I use this to watch 3 cameras whenever my home security system goes off. Love it!
